HC Deb 28 July 1947 vol 441 cc8-9W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware that Professor Max Planck, a Fellow of the Royal Society, Nobel Laureate, Physics, and Honorary Graduate of London University has been sentenced by a German de-Nazification court, in his 90th year, to four years' imprisonment in a labour camp because he accepted from the pre-Nazi German Government honours inevitably accorded to his outstanding scientific achievement; and if he will refuse to confirm this sentence.

Mr. Mayhew

Professor Planck is at liberty in the British zone and has not been sentenced by a German denazification court.
